The Wittig olefinations of 2,3‐ O ‐isopropylidene‐ D ‐ribofuranose ( 1 ) with two equivalents of alkylidenetriphenylphosphorane (alkylidene: hexylidene — undecylidene) followed by hydrogenation catalyzed by palladium on carbon and subsequent deprotection yield (2 R ,3 S ,4 S ‐(“ L ‐” ribo )‐1,2,3,4‐alkanetetrols 5 . These amphiphiles form the smectic A mesophase on melting. However, when 1 is heated with one equivalent of the alkylidenetriphenylphosphoranes for longer periods, (2 R ,3 S ,4 R )‐(“ D ‐ lyxo ”)‐1,2,3,4‐alkanetetrol‐type products 4 predominate.
